Random – “Ihr” is a way of saying “You” in 3rd person. The word “Ones” is meant to be in Loshon Hakodesh meaning in “mistake”.
Yserbius – You are correct! I agree completely. I am not sure what book you are talking about and if it is as you say then it is Toras Lukshin. Don’t even be Gores it. The extremists are beyond mainstream, the ones making all the noise is what the world is taking for granted as being the mainstream. Just as you say “Random Chabadsker” those who follow real Chabad Chassidus are not the ones who make the noise ie. similar to those who were dancing at the Rebbe’s Levaya or those who make a line till this day for dollars and make a path for him to come down to his seat for davening. Most Lubavitcher’s think that these people are sick. Ki Hamiat Mikem. People look at most of those things and that is where a lot of the negative response in the world regarding Chabad comes from.
Not to point fingers just rather as an example: Many think that Breslov is the people who put on loud music, dress a certain way or even do drugs and get drunk saying that is what Rabeinu Nachman wanted. To the contrary, the true Chassidim are those who sit and become B’Simcha through D’Veikus. People think that Satmar are Neturei Karta, they are only a very small few who kiss a Muslim and protest in Washington or Manhattan while wearing a Shtreimel on Shabbos etc..
I will say that there are certain similarities between all 3 (and many other) groups. Chabad is all over the world and therefore the issues have become more prominent. similarly are the naysayers. On the flip side the way people’s view and claim against the group as a whole is somewhat distorted. Yaakov Avinu put Eider Eider Livado in order for the small group coming towards Eisav to look like a large nation with lots of gifts. When people are spread out all over the world in smaller groups it looks like the problem of the few is much greater than factual. We are all entitled to our opinions, this is mine.
There are many who say that the “Rebbe said” yet it is what many are reading in between the lines or how the Sicha talks to them. Btw to dispel any myths; He never said that he is Moshiach. In fact at one time he even rebuked them for the context of a song the were singing.
Defend Chabad – Unfortunately my father is no longer with us, otherwise he would be 98 years old. My father spoke about him from time to time. He is in the famous Tomchei Temimim picture taken there. I personally remember Rav Pinchos Hirshprung. My brother was his Talmid in Montreal.
A Gutten Shabbos!
